Three to the third power means?

Answer 1

Powers are how many times you multiply a number by itself. Three squared (or three to the second power) is the same as 3 times 3. Three to the third power is the same as 3 times 3 times 3. This can continue forever. For the record, three to the third power is equal to 27.

Answer 2

It means that the number 3 is multiplied by itself, appearing 3 times as a factor. In other words, 3 x 3 x 3.
